Surviving With An Sss Rank Inventory - Chapter 39
Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 39
Episode 39:
The Knights’ Mansion where Sepia is located.
Here, at the back gate of the second floor, there were only two knights standing for security, unlike the Seonghwangcheong soldiers and knights crowded at the main gate.
Normally there would be no such thing as security, but the situation is different now.
Sigmund’s order not to let the people of Seonghwangcheong approach.
At this, the drivers opened their eyes and stopped a man who was coming up the back stairs.
“You’re Zeke’s squire, right?”
“What’s going on?”
The knights looked at the tall squire and said,
“The vice-captain sent me here. “I’m afraid there won’t be enough workers here…”
“Really? “We haven’t heard anything?”
“Well, we didn’t have enough hands because everyone was flocking here. It just worked out well. “Please bring us some water from downstairs.”
“All right. “I’ll bring it to you right away.”
The knights, who knew that he was Zeke’s squire, opened the door without much suspicion, and the squire, who looked a bit foolish, hurried into the building.
“phew.”
A seed entered the building.
Dio, who had been transformed into a squire through a transformation potion, breathed a sigh of relief when he successfully infiltrated.
The duration of the transformation potion is 10 minutes.
Dio, who knocked out the squire who found him hiding and transformed into him, hurriedly headed to the 4th floor where Sephia was located.
Currently, servants and maids were walking around inside the villa to serve the knight and Sepia, so Dio’s presence was not strange at all.
“Oh my Ted! long time no see. Did Zeke send you here?”
One of the maids who discovered Dio seemed to be acquainted with the squires and maids within the knights and spoke to him happily.
“Oh no. This is an errand for Sigmund. Where is Sepia?”
“It’s the middle room. But what on earth is going on outside? Still, Sepia, you’re not in a very good condition after yesterday’s incident…”
“I’m not sure. Anyway, I brought the medicine, so I’ll go quickly.”
“Oh, that’s a relief. “I was worried because you didn’t call the priest, but there was some medicine, right?”
Fortunately, Sepia seemed to be continuing to act painfully as originally planned.
Dio, who noticed this, pretended to have medicine that couldn’t be there, and the maid showed him Sephia’s room without any suspicion.
In the end, choosing a transformation potion instead of a stealth potion was an excellent choice.
I was able to easily find out the exact location of Sepia.
Dio carefully knocked on the door.
Knock-
“This is a message from Sepia and Sigmund.”
-Are you my brother? Come on in.
After hearing Sepia’s voice coming from inside the door, Dio opened the door and entered her room.
Dio quickly scanned the state of Sepia, who was looking at him.
I was worried that the pain might not be from acting, but from the oath, but it didn’t seem to be outside the rules.
‘Well, it’s not that far from the mansion prison.’
In any case, Sepia was clearly looking at the situation outside through the window and could be seen to be anxious in many ways.
“The message from my brother….”
“Sepia. I do not have time.”
“yes?”
Sepia, who had no idea that it was Dio who had turned into a squire, widened her eyes at his actions, cutting her off right away.
Chiik –
At just the right time, white smoke spewed out from Dio’s body and covered his entire body.
When the smoke cleared, Sephia was even more surprised to see Dio returning to his original form as a seed.
“Dio? How can we get here…!?”
Dio tried to answer Sepia’s question, but a loud commotion began to be heard outside, as if to let them know that their time was running out.
-The interrogator’s permission has been granted! Arrested by force!
-Stop!
-Anyone who blocks us from now on will be considered a heretic.
The Paladins surrounding the outside began to use force, and a conflict broke out with the knights blocking them.
-Aaaah!
In an instant, a loud scream was heard from the maid who saw the Holy Knight entering the building.
“I’ll explain later. Sepia Do you trust me?”
“yes?”
“I guess I’ll have to say goodbye to Sigmund later. “We need to escape now.”
“What does that mean? “Please explain slowly.”
A detailed explanation can be given later. Now the priority is to get Sepia out before the Seonghwangcheong people come in.
Dio took out an item from his inventory.
“What is that?”
“To make it possible for you to be transported safely.”
Dio poured the gray-colored vial onto Sepia’s head.
“what…?”
Sepia was embarrassed and tried to ask for an explanation, but she was unable to speak.
Sepia’s body, which came into contact with the medicine, gradually began to harden and became completely hardened like a stone.

[Petrification Potion]
Grade: Magic
Classification: Potion
Level limit: 10
Effect: Puts the target in a petrified state for 10 minutes.
—————
The potion used on her was the so-called petrification potion.
Of course, it did not work on targets with high magic resistance, but it worked well on low-level Sephia.
‘Inventory.’
After watching Sepia turn into a perfect stone statue, Dio opened his inventory again.
The reason Sepia was made into a rock that was difficult to transport was to transport it by putting it in the ‘inventory’.
‘Due to the order board system, living creatures, including humans, cannot be placed in the inventory. And also items that are too bulky.’
However, the current DIO satisfied both of the two elements that could solve this problem.
The first is a petrification potion that temporarily transforms the living creature Sepia into a ‘stone statue’.
The second is the inventory expansion feature that doubles the volume limit of items that can be stored in the inventory.
Dio’s inventory expansion characteristics were so bad that they could be classified as trash.
‘That doesn’t mean I didn’t do any research at all.’
Dio spent a long time researching the character’s valuable characteristics while playing the game, and also used inventory expansion in various ways.
‘Of course, it’s a trait exclusive to warehouse characters.’
In any case, it is fortunate that the research spirit of the deceased person, which was displayed even in the warehouse, shines through in the current situation.
This method can store not only NPCs but also monsters.
I remember Dio using it when he unleashed monsters in villages and battlefields, so I was absolutely sure of Sepia’s safety.
“Now all that’s left is to get out.”
Dio quickly took out his cloak of concealment and immediately put it on.
As long as Sepia is safely secured, there is no reason to go through the crowded crowds.
-It’s upstairs!
-Everyone climb up!
The commotion of the Paladins who had infiltrated the building quickly climbing the stairs was heard nearby, and Dio immediately threw himself through the window.
Although it is the height of the 4th floor, it is not high enough to be a burden to D.O.
thud!
The actions of everyone who had already gathered here were looking for the missing Sephia, so it was difficult to notice Dio, who had easily escaped by hiding himself.
-It’s gone!
-These guys! Where did you hide it?
-What are you talking about?
-Arrest everyone!
Immediately after he escaped through the window, Dio could hear the voices of the Holy Knights who had barged into Sepia’s room expressing their anger.
The knights of Rivernos were also surprised that Sepia had disappeared. In many ways, it was clear that it would lead to even greater confusion.
‘Sigmund. Take care of it yourself.’
Having safely achieved his goal, Dio quickly left the Knights’ barracks.
Their dispute is now up to Sigmund.
There may come a situation where the Luna Church officially declares him a heretic and pursues him.
However, they will not pursue you easily without accurate confirmation.
‘Anyway, they didn’t see my face. Besides, I didn’t cause any direct friction with them.’
Dio decided that he had handled the crisis in front of him appropriately, took a deep breath, looked towards the east, and muttered.
“Then…let’s go.”
Dio’s next destination had already been decided.

* * *
In any world, it is difficult for children without parents to live without help from others.
It was especially difficult for two young children to survive in a slum filled with people who had lost the will to live.
Sigmund and Sephia had a terrible childhood like any other unfortunate children who grew up without parents.
An unhappy life happens between people.
Sepia has struggled to survive and has constantly suffered the viciousness of countless people in the process.
It is not just those from the back alleys who show viciousness.
The back alleys of River North were places where knights who neglected crime, nobles who visited the pleasure district, and even people who grew up with nothing to envy, showed their greedy side without fail.
Even with Sigmund’s ability, it was difficult to keep the back alleys clean, so the security in the back alleys before he became a knight was so bad that it became infamous throughout the continent.
In such a place, Sephia learned the cruel rules of survival.
There is no favor without reason for a creature called human being.
This is the only knowledge Sephia learned in the back alleys.
An old gentleman approached me pretending to be a gentleman, and a young nobleman pretended to be polite.
Human greed was hidden behind the favors that everyone readily gave.
Not only have I almost been trafficked, but more than once I have almost been used to distribute drugs.
Behind her fake smile, Sephia learned to be endlessly suspicious of others and never once trusted anyone other than her brother Sigmund.
It was fortunate that her older brother, who was talented in swordsmanship, was taken over by a knight from Rivernos, but he did not blindly show good will either.
As the leader of the knights, he saw Sigmund’s venom and gave him a chance, intending to raise the talented Sigmund as his own.
As a result, it worked in reverse as Sigmund’s talent blossomed and his explosive growth occurred.
However, the lesson this gave to Sepia was clear.
The world is a world of survival of the fittest.
If you are weak, you will be eaten.
There is absolutely no favor without reason.
It must have been like that.
It must be an unchanging truth.
Why did he make that choice?
A spoonful of soup he gave me, a warm fire he made, a peaceful word he gave me.
The belief that no one would trust shakes in front of him.
Why did I so easily reveal my secret to someone I barely knew at the time?
Even though we know better than anyone else that people always wear masks.
Sepia opened her eyes.
In front of me, I saw the man who had saved me from a group of warlocks.
I have no idea what that man’s intentions are.
There is no favor without reason.
But what if the truth you thought was wrong?
Maybe he’s showing that the world isn’t so bleak?
If so, acting suspicious of others is not a good idea.
However, you should not just receive help forever.
‘Because I am weak…’
Due to his own weakness, my brother, who was strong, was eaten in the world of the law of the jungle.
Now, I may not be able to see the rest of my family for the rest of my life.
The only consolation is that this man is doing me a favor for no reason.
‘But if I remain weak…’
I can’t be a burden anymore.
Sepia’s beliefs helped her make her resolution.
‘You have to be strong.’
A life worth living is when you take advantage of this opportunity to grow yourself during times when you worry about doubting others.
Sepia made up her mind.
There was no sign of hesitation from her anymore.
